    We would have been unlucky not to qualify with 9pts. Imagine what we could have done it we bought some players in the summer

    In any group champions league or europa 9pts is usually enough.

    It’s not a cash rich group though. Salzburg have spent less than us on players..

    Which begs the recurring question...

    Think we earned our luck tbh. 9pts was a good effort.

    9 is a good return, it's what you expect to get if you want to progress.
    We've been on the unfortunate side of that before, this year we get the luck we needed.
    Shame that it had to eventually be a team doing us a turn, but it's a fair return from the group and there is definitely plus points overall.

    Definitely weaknesses in being able to step it up half a level.
    Gordon.

    I know mate....but Salzburg spent quite a bit less than us.

    We should be really trying to look at their model, but I’d imagine we are stifled by work permit issues

    Nothing to do with model its Red Bull i'd imagine they get first pick on some serious talent regardless of fee , then they sell them on.

    For me there is no luck involved here. We took more points then Leipzig. When it comes down to it we done a better job overall. Stats don't lie, we take our rightful place in the last 32. Tough group, a group I truly didn't think we would take 9 points from. Great group campaign

    Don't get me wrong, we done more than enough to deserve to go through.

    The luck was in rosenborg making sure we didn't receive the bad luck, as we did under Mon when we went out with 9pts ( maybe more?).

    Think Salzburg are capable of winning it on that showing , beaten semi finalists last year and they could always come up against a difficult match like Chelsea or Arsenal in the later rounds but capable of beating them.

    They spent 31 million over 3 to four seasons sold quite a bit on for money and letting players swap with leipzig slowly built a team up and are in the black by a mile as well very impressive model

    I think we've spent just over £25 million since Brendan has been here, so fairly close, also a club in a similar position to us in that they dominate their league and probably looking in the markets we should be targeting.
